The following are general recommendations for successful processing. Other cure cycles are possible. Adjustments may be required to achieve optimum results in your specific manufacturing environment.
Vacuum Bag in Oven Cycle :
- Draw vacuum and apply 100 psi pressure
- 5oF (3oC)/min. ramp to 250oF (121oC)
- Hold for 60 min.
- Cool to less than 180oF (82oC) at 10oF (6oC)/min.
- Release vacuum and demold when < 150oF (65oC)
Press Cycle (In-out, Out-hot) :
- Recommended 100 psi pressure
- Cure at 250oF (121oC) for 60 min.
- Bumps at 30, 60 and 90 seconds
Autoclave Cycle:
- Draw vacuum and apply 50 psi pressure
- 5oF (3oC)/min. ramp to 250oF (121oC)
- Hold for 60 min.
- Cool at 5-10°F (3-6oC)/min.
- Release pressure when <180°F (82oC)
